When developing solutions for cloud-based applications, there are several technical considerations that need to be accounted for. One of the most important considerations is the use of containers, which can either enhance or hinder the effectiveness of a solution. When containers are not used properly, it can result in an additional cost known as the “container tax.” Additionally, there is
The growth of technology and data has dramatically increased the importance of data in the modern world. Data is both the most significant asset and the biggest challenge for most corporations. Traditional forms of database delivery remain complex, costly, and time-consuming. Hence, enterprises require innovations to streamline and optimize their data management. This article discusses how database virtualization is transforming
Enterprise application integration (EAI) refers to the process of integrating and connecting various software applications within an organization to ensure that they work together seamlessly. As organizations grow and expand, they often acquire different applications, tools, and systems that operate independently, leading to data silos and inefficient processes. EAI is essential for bridging the gap between these systems and applications,
As more and more businesses transition to cloud-based storage and computing, the need for secure storage and transfer of data has become more important than ever before. Cloud encryption is the process of converting data stored in the cloud into an unreadable format for unauthorized individuals. The rapidly growing demand for cloud encryption has become a major area of interest
Data centers have become an essential part of the digital world as companies, governments, and individuals generate and store data. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), the digital universe will grow from 4.4 zettabytes in 2013 to 44 zettabytes by 2020, emphasizing the importance of data centers. However, data centers’ growth brings environmental concerns due to the energy required
In the past few years, cloud migration has become a buzzword for businesses looking to modernize and streamline their IT infrastructure. Cloud providers promise cost savings, agility, and scalability, making the transition to the cloud too good to pass up. However, this rush to enable the cloud without proper spending guardrails in place has resulted in many companies facing unexpected
In today’s digital age, cybersecurity is more important than ever before. As we have seen in recent years, cyberattacks can have devastating consequences for businesses, government agencies, and even individuals. With the increasing use of cloud computing, there is an even greater need for organizations to be vigilant about their security posture. This is where security observability comes into play.
NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express): The Future of Memory Processing. In today’s digital age, memory processing is becoming more demanding as we create and store more data. Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) has emerged as the solution to improve memory processing through faster speeds and higher read/write rates. NVMe is designed to cater to exponentially more efficient memory processing, making it the
Digital Edge, a leading provider of data center solutions across Asia, has announced the development of a new carrier-neutral data center facility in downtown Tokyo, Japan. The project, known as TYO7, is designed to provide much-needed interconnect-focused colocation capacity to one of the world’s largest data center markets valued at USD $2.2 billion as of 2021. Digital Edge is known
Computer systems have evolved significantly since their introduction, with newer and more advanced technologies emerging at an unprecedented rate. Alongside this progress, however, the demand for higher memory capacity has also increased. As such, the need for efficient memory management mechanisms has become more critical. In this respect, memory swapping has emerged as a valuable technology that helps improve the
Data centers are the backbone of the digital infrastructure that powers our modern world. They are essential for enterprise operations, communication, and the storage of vast amounts of data. As the volume and importance of data continue to grow, managing and monitoring the facilities that house it becomes increasingly important. To facilitate this, Africa Data Centres (ADC) and TechAccess have
The world of cloud computing is undergoing a significant transformation, although it’s happening with little fanfare. Layoffs in the tech sector have left many skilled workers jobless and pushed towards taking up gig work or independent contracting. Simultaneously, there’s a shortage of cloud computing professionals. There isn’t enough preparation of cloud experts to keep up with the increasing demand, and tech
